Contributions are welcome in all fields of Finance. All submitted papers will be evaluated by two referees in a double-blind process.
To enable this process, the cover page of the submitted paper should contain the title of the manuscript, the name and affiliation of all
the authors. The first page of text should contain the title, an abstract of about 100 words, and the appropriate JEL classification code, but
not the author’s name.
To make the submission and refereeing process faster and more efficient, we plan to do everything electronically. Thus we will only accept
electronic submissions (in form of pdf-files). Please meet the formal requirements listed above and make sure that the security options of
your pdf-document are disabled because it is necessary to 'cut off' the first page before we make it accessible to the referees. If you have
problems in submitting your paper electronically, please let us know.
Authors wishing to present a paper should use the following 2-step procedure:
Step 1: |
 |
Register at our website through the following form. Please register as soon as possible. This will help us to prepare the refereeing
process efficiently. If your paper is already available in the SSRN system, please put its id-number, a six digit number at the end
of the SSRN address of your paper, in the 'comment' field of Step 1.
Deadline for registration is March 1, 2002.

Step 2: |
|
Upload your paper as a pdf-document into the SSRN system (if not already available).
Deadline for uploading papers is also March 1, 2002.

A SSRN-form needs to be filled out. On the form, please select "EFA 2002 Submission" as Recommended Abstract
Appearance. If you do not select other SSRN Subject Matter Journals, your submission will not be shown to and will not
be accessible by the public, but only by the program chair. Note that if you choose to submit the paper to other SSRN
Subject Journals at the same time, either on the same form or separately, SSRN will publish the paper in the regular
way without mentioning that it is also an EFA submission.
If a paper is accepted for conference presentation it will be included in the “EFA 2002 Presentations Journal”. The first issues
of this electronic journal will be published by SSRN in June.
Because of the large number of submissions, many high quality papers had to be rejected during the past years. To promote academic
discussions during the meeting a second journal will be published. If a paper is not accepted for presentation but is judged "above
average" by the referees it may be included in the "EFA 2002 Discussion Journal" if the submitting author wishes to do so and at
least one of the authors attends the conference. The first issue of this electronic journal will be published by SSRN in July.
Both journals will remain publically accessible in the SSRN system for the near future.
If a submitted paper is not included in either journal it will be included in the SSRN e-library or deleted, at the discretion of
the submitting author and the SSRN editors.
